High School Sports News
A two-sport standout from Monmouth-Roseville High School will make her college plans official this week.
Rebecca Gillen, who earned numerous accolades in volleyball and was named to the Class 2A second-team all-state basketball team this past season for the Titans, is signing a letter of intent to attend and play volleyball at St. Ambrose University.
Gillen helped the M-R girls basketball team complete its best season in the history of the Monmouth-Roseville consolidation. The Titans, under coach Jim Cole, won their first Olympic Conference title and finished with a 22-7 record.
Gillen's brother Ben, who excelled in basketball and golf at Monmouth-Roseville, currently attends St. Ambrose. Rebecca Gillen is scheduled to sign on Friday at 3 p-m in the Monmouth-Roseville High School gymnasium.

Monday:
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) -- The New York Mets picked up a 6-5 win over St. Louis. Cardinals starter Brad Penny took a line drive off his pitching elbow in the first inning but stayed in the game. He gave up three runs and six hits in just under four innings.
TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) -- The Colorado Rockies defeated the Chicago Cubs 5-2 in a game that took less time than the Cubs' adventurous bus ride to get there. The two-hour trip was delayed when their bus broke down. Starter Carlos Zambrano surrendered one run and five hits in four innings.
GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) -- It's a loss for the Chicago White Sox in Cactus League action. AL Cy Young Award winner Zack Greinke got the best of a matchup with Chicago's Mark Buehrle as the Kansas City Royals won 9-1. Buehrle gave up three runs and nine hits in four innings.
